Purpose

ITE's Council Leadership Team (CLT) provides leadership and coordination of activities across ITE's technical councils to help provide value to the councils’ membership and the ITE membership at large. Each year the CLT will select a recipient for the Council Project Excellence Award to recognize the best technical product resulting from work developed, completed, and sponsored by a Council in the previous calendar year.
